Six Russian Military Officers Charged In Vast Hacking Campaign | Talking Points Memo

Quite possibly. Does seem rather odd that they’d release a bunch of charges, but with all the focus being on crimes in other countries.

Probably don’t want Barr to tip off the russkies all the other shit we know, waiting for the new Administration to brief them up fully.

I would think that when Rs have fought to limit these to One drop-box per county that having a security cam and trail-cams and other vigilance would be do-able. And anyone caught doing this is going to jail for a long time, so something needs to be done FAST to counter-act this.

Luxury!

Those 2400-baud modems were about twenty-four times faster than the original modems in the 1950s. 'Course, these were a luxury, too, at the time.

Have they gotten their Presidential Medals of Freedom yet? Or is the paperwork still in process?

They did not.

Some of the targeted businesses listed in the indictment are US-based, including hospital systems in Pennsylvania.

Problem being that, other than a cop hovering over each one (which is its own problem), anything is just catching it after the fact and after the damage is already done. Sure, you can catch the person, but if the ballots are totally destroyed and you can’t find the voters to let them know and get them to make the whole effort to vote again…

Sometimes, fires just happen on their own. It’s like when a gun goes off with no warning.

But they did stay away from anything that had to do with politics.

For now.

Other than being a grating sound, the target would have to be of a particular generation for it to have the intended effect. Too young and it won’t have any real relevance to them…

I dunno, they like the '60s stuff I play, but when I put on an old 1940s musical, it’s drives my kids absolutely bonkers!

There’s a map somewhere out there on the internet that shows RF fiberoptic trunk lines are actually a very underpowered system.

My dad managed to engender an appreciation for the classics, growing up. Turner Classic Movies was on more often than it wasn’t in my house, so I guess you’re just unlucky with your kids…

…At least, you’ll always have Paris TPM.

It’s not a problem. Vlad will tell Donnie that they didn’t do it and Donnie will get Billy Barr to withdraw the indictments. Donnie will say, “Vlad said they didn’t do it and I believe him.”

Funny how we had back-to-back GOP presidents who were so easily awed by Putie’s baby blues, while the interRepublum Dem was not so easily swayed.

Alternatively, you could have a continuous loop of Howard Cosell.
